The shot looks as if it is going to miss, but the vermin jinks at the last moment and the small bolt buries itself in the creature

Jakun: 24 hit
Jakun moves into a flanking spot past the blinded creature and attacks! Taishe knows this creature is a unique type of monster to this jungle called a Rhagodessa. It is a ten-legged vermin, not from the insect or spider family, but a separate vermin branch. They are sensitive to light, which is likely why Jakun's spell was so effective. They are effectively mindless, so any type of charm magic is wasted on them
Stoner Girl Cat Fight Rd 2 Hamar: 17 (Activating Hamar's Luckstone)
Alessia fights through the thicket of grasping ebon tentacles that attempt to curl around her armored legs and aims a sweeping cut at one of the medusae. Her black blade flickers by inches from the thing's linen wrappings EDIT: This will be Rd 3
Stoner Girl Cat Fight Rd 2 Hamar: 17 (Activating Hamar's Luckstone)
Blayze (Above/distracted) The three reamining medusae spin northward, and cast their gaze towards Hamar.
There is a string of sibilant words in Aklo, and suddenly a writhing nest of ebon tentacles erupt from the floor! They surround Alessia and Hamar, clutching at them with preternatural strength
Black Tentacle description: This spell causes a field of rubbery black tentacles to appear, burrowing up from the floor and reaching for any creature in the area.
Every creature within the area of the spell is the target of a combat maneuver check made to grapple each round at the beginning of your turn, including the round that black tentacles is cast. Creatures that enter the area of effect are also automatically attacked. The tentacles do not provoke attacks of opportunity. When determining the tentacles’ CMB, the tentacles use your caster level as their base attack bonus and receive a +4 bonus due to their Strength and a +1 size bonus. Roll only once for the entire spell effect each round and apply the result to all creatures in the area of effect. If the tentacles succeed in grappling a foe, that foe takes 1d6+4 points of damage and gains the grappled condition. Grappled opponents cannot move without first breaking the grapple. All other movement is prohibited unless the creature breaks the grapple first. The black tentacles spell receives a +5 bonus on grapple checks made against opponents it is already grappling, but cannot move foes or pin foes. Each round that black tentacles succeeds on a grapple check, it deals an additional 1d6+4 points of damage. The CMD of black tentacles, for the purposes of escaping the grapple, is equal to 10 + its CMB. The tentacles created by this spell cannot be damaged, but they can be dispelled as normal. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the tentacles last.
Creepy Crawlie rd 1 Jakun: 24 Colorspray
Tragon's cutlass cuts deep, ichor spraying the small room Taishe has heard of these creatures before - Rhagodessas.
The creature lashes out at the only person within range, Tragon
Narl's ray goes wide as the creature lurches from the blinding spell Jakun put upon it
Creepy Crawlie rd 1 Jakun: 24
Narl studied many different tomes in his preparation to travel to this strange continent. He had read that the jungles hereabouts held many vicious insectile vermin, often quite large, but he is unaware of this particular species.
Hamar feels a wall of mental energy surround his mind. The gem at his brow glows with a kaleidoscopic fire, rippling through the spectrum much like the creature Pando did when it conversed with the party in the cave on that strange and wonderful beach.
Hamar’s brow suddenly erupts in a prism of multicolored light. The room’s shadows seem to retreat from the magical glow
Alessia’s first swing hits her foe, which disappears! Another sorcerous phantasm!

Stoner Girl Cat Fight Rd 1 Hamar: 17 [Frozen in fear 1 rd/Shaken 1 rd after]
Karrin’s swing misses, but her will stands strong against the crushing fear of the mummy’s horror
Taishe grabs the door and swings it open, prudently shielding himself behind its stout teak frame. And it seems a wise choice, as the room beyond holds a hissing insectile horror! A fearsome giant cross between a spider and an ant about the size of a pony, ten legged, with a sharp chitinous set of oversized ebony mandibles. The creature wears an iron collar with a stout chain welded to it. The chain trails back into the room behind it, but doesn’t seem to hinder it. The creature hisses louder, opening its mandibles wide and lunges at the doorway!
Merry Christmas Rags. As I said on Discord, best wishes to your mom for her recovery and enjoy your time off with the fam. You deserve it We shall all be here , giant spaghetti monster willing.
The door is unlocked, and there do not seem To be any traps. Taishe also hears a rattling coming through the door as he examines it. It sounds like someone dragging a chain across cobblestones
As Narl looks about the narrow hallway he hears the distinct sound of a rattling chain coming from beyond the east door
The door appears to be unlocked it opens soundlessly into a narrow hallway. The hallway goes 10 feet east turns south then ends ten feet at another teak door. A second teak door sits on the east wall by the first.
The door is clear of traps
Merle becomes a whirlwind as she speed races down the twisting stairs
The Medusa Alessia faces is the only one not on fire. It jinks and dodges, evading Alessia’s black iron blade
Every one of the medusae light up like a Solstice torch. There’s an unholy howl as the smell of frying snake, burning linen, and oils permeate the air
The door is another well-oiled teak door. Silent, no sound beyond
Jakun finds a human tooth under the chair when he looks about, but that’s the only thing in the room he sees. He gets the feeling that the Lotus Dragons used this room to ‘question’ people
Hamar feels a wave of terror wash over him, but then a warm glow emanates from his forehead as the mystical gemstone shines bright, filling his mind with steely resolve
Jakun opens the door to a small 10x15 room. A single old chair is propped in the corner. The flagstone floor has a pattern of old brownish stains around the chair. There is another typical door in the northeast corner of the room. Nothing else in the room
"Doctor Sleep, no s$+#... Couldn't get through two chapters of that f@%$ing thing without passing out..." Coyote mutters to himself. One thing that Coyote has noticed in his long wanderings through America’s twisted alimentary canal is that horror writers like King, McCammon, Koontz, and earlier ones like Lovecraft, Bloch and Ashton-Smith might have seemed masters of purple prose, but their imagination seemed to hit closer to the mark than was comfortable. It was almost like by writing about these things they spoke them into existence….
Sabrina smiles as she walks the two out the door. They retrieve their items from the guards and head to their car “Absolutely. Jonathan wants something followed up in New Orleans possibly. Would either of you be adverse to a trip to the Crescent City during the holidays? We can discuss “ She waves as you pull away, her incongruous Fifties swimwear looking very odd in the bright brittle late October afternoon
Completely ignoring the fireball, Alessia charges the medusa directly in front of her and attacks.
No traps, the door is another well-maintained teak door, well oiled and unlocked
Stoner Girl Cat Fight Rd 1 Hamar: 17 [Frozen in fear 1 rd/Shaken 1 rd after]
The four remaining undead medusas gesture in unison and there is a sudden *WHOOMP* as flames engulf the party!
As he closes his eyes, Hamar feels a paralyzing fear wash over him. He freezes in place
One of the Lotus Dragons whispers "You go through that door there. There's a whole suite of rooms that Robyn inhabits back there"
Hamar only manages to hit once, and the medusa disappears! It was a fake! He still shuts his eyes
The two wake fairly quickly, staring at the massive minotaur with huge eyes. Jakun motions for them to be still and then readies to asks his questions
Each body has 10 gp, a set of thieves tools, a rapier, a sap, a hand crossbow, 10 bolts, and they are dressed in leather armor. There is one door in the eastern wall
Jakun’s horns punch into the luckless Lotus Dragon guild member. A gout of dark blood vomits from his mouth as he flies backwards, landing on the floor in a boneless heap
The group begins to deploy in the magically-darkened room when they hear a loud word shouted out in a sibilant voice Draconic Spoiler:
BEGONE!!!! Suddenly the magical darkness is gone. The room is at normal light, as light as a windowless chamber deep underground could be. Five figures move forward through the statues towards the party. Their hair whips around their heads as if in a gale. They are wrapped in rune-covered linen strips
Just a quick FYI - Hamar is the lead off on the new battle. Gonna be an interesting one
Blayze seems preoccupied by something in the corner of the room, and doesn’t react to Merle going downstairs
Coyote spends the morning and noon collecting a bounty of various herbs. This burg might not be much to look at, but you can't complain about its wild herbs. He'd usually have to spend a week getting as much as he finds in just the few hours until after lunch. The day's shadow is stretching as he stands up, back popping. His new companions should probably be getting done with whatever weird corporate thing they were doing.
A few papers are signed, the credit cards and phones are handed over. Sabrina is going to be the group's initial handler. She smiles, and pulls her sunglasses down to give them both a wink "You'll hear from me in the next few days" The two are treated to a lovely set of desserts. Jonathan is called away on business, he leaves after shaking their hands, and says he hopes to hear good things from them. Sabrina stays a while , and will answer any lingering questions over the local pastries.
Hey Dummy! Rd 2 Jakun: 30
Nahuatl ti: pending Only one Lotus Dragon gang member is left on his feet, and he's looking pretty nervous
Another Lotus Dragon falls to Tragon's flashing cutlass!
Another Lotus Dragon falls to Tragon's flashing cutlass!
Alessia notes the slithering sound comes from beyond the frozen statue of the camel ahead
